After playing to sold-out crowds in Texas, Ann won critical acclaim in Chicago and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Written and performed by Holland Taylor, who most may know from the hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men", the play has been called "a true tour-de-force with phenomenal humor, strength and warmth.

Of the play, Holland Taylor said in a statement, "I was compelled to write this play…During the darkest hours of trying to shape a mountain of material, in a daydream I would see Ann in the fifth row, beaming happily and elbowing our mutual old friend, Liz Smith. Four years of work later, I have made a journey I could never have imagined."
